DJ used to do this when I housed him in an XPen.  I took an old sheet and layed it over the top of the pen, securing it with wooden clothes pins.  If they move the pen around, you may have to secure it or weigh it down so they can’t move it anymore.

I had the same problem with Roo. I woke up one morning to find her sitting next to my bed. We ended up getting NIC cubes because it was such a hassle to put stuff on top and then take it down again. She has run of most of the house now but she is penned out in certain areas and she is now starting to push the pens out to get where she wants.

would it help to put another row of NIC panels along the pen?  or are they climbing out?  you could zip-tie vertical fibreglass tie-rods for stability like the one i have horizontally supporting the roof over pinky’s upper level.

oh my gosh they just pick up and move gee. the whole living quarters?!!!! what smart little buggers yeah can you anchor it down? my goodness what a bunch of buns   cotton used to jump over his 42 inch x pen. I had to put a cloth and hold it on top with clothespens. he doens’t do that anymore he is happy having the run of the living room. when determined he will push it out of his way tho.

does anyone know if you can buy the panels in england or is their any way of ordering them over the internet? thanks

this is the cool habitats page.  it has pics of member’s condos and if you scroll down there are places in the UK where you can get them, and also websites with instructions on how to build.

electro-weezle… here are a couple of links from the cool habitats page:

you could also try searching the forum… i’m sure this has come up before since there are a few uk’ers here

lisa… yeah i think i need a visual of your set-up to understand completely.   i was thinking if you added panels to the height they wouldn’t be able to jump over.   the netting sounds like a good idea though… and i’m sure you could get stuff thats not too loose a weave.

thanks

Hi Electro-Weezle

You can get NIC cubes in B&Q: http://www.diy.com/diy/jsp/bq/nav/nav.jsp?action=detail&fh_secondid=9796465&fh_view_size=6&fh_location=%2f%2fcatalog01%2fen_GB&fh_search=cube+storage&fh_eds=%c3%9f&fh_refview=search&ts=1210628544089&isSearch=true

I live in Swansea, South Wales, UK and it took me forever to find them here. It sounds like America have everything for a happy bunny.

Please be gentle this is my first post. I have been a “visitor” to this site for nearly a year now but have never plucked up the courage to register but felt that I had to tell you that NIC cubes are available in the UK. It took me forever to find them and I wish someone had pointed me in the right direction.

I am slave to Gizmo, who is just over a year old and he is a cross between a lop and lion head but you would never guess to look at him. I have tried to add pictures to this post, sorry if they don’t come out right. I will try and get some up to date ones for you all soon. I have had Gizmo since he was a baby (since 6-7 weeks old), he was from an accident litter. Gizmo’s favourite past-time is cuddling on the sofa watching TV and giving bunny kisses.

Hi Ruth, and welcome to BB!  Your rabbit is quite stunning, I have never seen a coloring pattern like that before.  I also love the “I can’t decide if I am a lop or not” ears.

He looks like a cloud on a day that isn’t sure if it’s going to rain or not… I love it.

Hi Ruth and Gizmo – welcome to Binky Bunny!!

Lisa – I ended up having to get a 3 foot tall x-pen since Pandy kept leaping out. where there’s a will, there’s a way when it comes to most buns

Welcome Ruth! Wow, Gizmo really is gorgeous…and awe…he sounds so sweet.

AHHH! i am just sooo happy to find the NIC CUBES! i cant belive how cheap they are aswell because i was thinking i wouldnt be able to afford them of other sites =] thankyou sooo much ruth!

… and also, your bunny is VERY cute! i love the ears teehee
